Chop-Chop (Liu Huang)

Plot: Several pages of the Book of Destiny have come undone from their binding, and formed a humanoid entity. June is captured by it, and finds herself observing the events depicted in those pages. The first was a team-up between the Metal Men and Robby Reed (of "Dial H For Hero.") They join forces and eventually defeat a giant robot whose only spoken word is "Megistus." The second is a team-up between the Blackhawk sqadron and the Boy Commandos, who are trying to prevent the Nazis from obtaining the Orb of Ra. They do this, but then a mummy captures Brooklyn of the Boy Commandos, with plans to use him to demonstrate to Megistus the power of the orb. He escapes, sealing the temple in the process. The third story June views depicts Hawkman and the new Atom fighting against the Warlock of Ys, who also seems to have some knowledge of or contact with Megistus. After realizing that most of the troubles the heroes are having with their equipment is simply feedback and not the Warlock's doing, the new Atom creates more extreme feedback, sending the Warlock through a page shaped portal, which brings the story right back to June, who is now viewing the Book of Destiny's depiction of her current difficulties.
